Any directory publisher who publishes a directory which meets such standard shall annually retrieve and recycle at least thirty per cent of its directories distributed in this state unless the commissioner determines that (1) fifty per cent or more of the municipalities in this state accept such publisher's directories as part of municipal recycling programs and that such directories are recycled or (2) fifty per cent or more of the intermediate solid waste processing centers in this state accept such directories as part of a recycling program and that such directories are recycled.
